Finally getting around to sharing a little recap from my trip to the @shortfilmmarket and @lecourtclermont . It was a crazy three days. I definitely needed some time to recover!
But crazy in the best way: I met amazing new people, reconnected with old friends, and had countless inspiring conversations with filmmakers from all over the world. The networking was incredible, and I came away with so much valuable insight (and motivation!).
It was all so intense… I barely took any photos! 🙈
Huge thanks to the Talent Bridge and @tportmarket programmes for bringing together so many young, ambitious filmmakers in one place. I’m really grateful to be part of such a talented and driven community.
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful time. Now it’s time to take a deep breath and move on to what’s next. These three days gave me such a boost - a reminder that no matter where you are in your journey, anything is possible.
Hope to see many of you again very soon!
Prima is now online!
My short documentary about prima ballerina Elisa Carrillo Cabrera @elisacarrillocabrera with @mikhailkaniskin_official is now available to watch on 99.media, a beautiful platform that shares powerful short documentaries from around the world, translated into multiple languages.
You can now watch Prima and also read my interview, where I talk about the process behind the film, my inspiration, and what this story means to me.
🎥 Link in bio!
Huge thanks to @99shortdocs for giving Prima a new home ❤️

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Chania film festival @chaniafilmfestival in Chania, Crete, and it was a wonderful experience. The program was fantastic—an ideal way to get acquainted with Greek cinema. The atmosphere was so warm and inviting, with well-organized screenings, great food, and incredibly friendly people.
I especially loved how the festival involves local school kids, offering workshops and special screenings to inspire the next generation. Looking forward to seeing how this amazing festival grows!

To Woman - Mari Boine • by Kirill Milkus & Veronika Pokoptceva
EN: Dressed in her traditional costume, Mari sings her song against the backdrop of Berlin cityscapes in Kirill's music video. The poetic character of the song is complemented by an equally stirring visual accompaniment that underlines the message of the power of women.
DE: In ihrer traditionellen Tracht singt Mari ihr Lied vor dem Hintergrund Berliner Stadtansichten in Kirills Musikvideo. Der poetische Charakter des Liedes wird durch eine ebenso mitreißende visuelle Untermalung ergänzt, die die Botschaft von der Kraft der Frau unterstreicht.
UK: У своєму традиційному костюмі Марі співає свою пісню на тлі берлінських міських пейзажів у кліпі Кирила. Поетичність пісні доповнюється не менш зворушливим візуальним супроводом, який підкреслює повідомлення про силу жінки.
SA: Árbevirolaš biktasiin lávlu Mari iežas lávlaga Berlina gávpotmáilmmi duohken Kirilla musihkkavideos. Lávlaga poehtalaš luondu lea lasihuvvon seamma movttiidahtti visuála čuojahemiin mii deattuha nissonolbmuid fámu boasttuvuođa.
NO: I sin tradisjonelle drakt synger Mari sangen sin mot bakteppet av Berlins bylandskap i Kirills musikkvideo. Sangens poetiske natur komplementeres av et like rørende visuelt akkompagnement som understreker budskapet om kvinners makt.

This year we attended the Berlin Music Video Awards (BMVA) festival. A music video produced by one of our co-founders, Veronika Pokoptceva, was shown in a silver screening session. Congratulations to the team and director Niklas Reinsberg @niklasreinsberg ! The video, titled “Writing’s on the Wall” by Chiny Logan x Moody, is now available on YouTube.
We’ve noticed some trends this year. There were relatively few German productions and a lot of French ones. Both facts are inspiring to us. We are committed to presenting the German music video scene and have learned a lot from French productions to work with. Being international has always been one of our main interests. We also noted the number of videos made by or with the help of AI. While they aren’t all incredibly interesting or attractive, it shows the industry is moving in this direction. We expect to see more AI-produced videos soon. We’re interested in implementing AI in our productions as long as it enhances the story or at least doesn’t hurt it.
In fact, it was a very nice three days for us! We reconnected with people we worked with a long time ago and met new partners, musicians, performers, and inspiring young artists. There were a lot of nice and talented videos, which you can watch on the BMVA website, and “Writing’s on the Wall” is available through the link in our bio.
